Hey!! Today was a good day, I finally got to go home early from work. I had been signing up for Awop, thinking that that was what u signed up for to go home early, but I learned today that Awop and home early are 2 separate things, so I signed the home early one, just to see if I'd get it(the guy at the desk said that Avis didn't usually get it). Well he was just being a downer!!! I was supposed to work until 12:30am and got sent home at 7pm!! So, now I'm at home, it's raining so there isn't much to do, but I like it just fine compared to being at work!! I work on Canada day,I thought that I'd get a shitty shift, but I only work until 10:30pm!! I'll still have lots of time to go have fun and celebrate.

Last night was a good night, I had lots of reservations and I got quite a few transfers. Today I don't have to work until 5:15pm. I have to work on Canada day though, I wasn't there on Friday, when everyone was told to put their bids in, so I didn't get my bid (for hours) put in until yesterday. That kinda sucks, but oh well. I went and filled out an E form yesterday at the pay roll department. I won't have anymore taxes taken out of my pays now. I guess if your a student and your tuition and living expenses are under 8 thousand this year, you don't have to pay taxes. So I'll get to keep my full pay, last pay they took close to 2 hundred dollars out. I think that I will quit at the end of July beginning of august. I won't want to do this for the whole summer. I told them I would be able to work until august 20, but I don't think I'll make it.Anywhoo gotta go.

I went to the Buccaneers pub this morning with mom and richard. I took him and mom out for breakfast/lunch for fathers day. We all ordered steak and eggs. Richard ate his super fast. But mom and i noticed that our steaks were still pretty red and blooding after we had eaten a few bites, so we sent them back to be cooked again. Mom got hers back and it was fine, but mine was still squirting blood when I poke dit with my knife, so I sent it back once more. I think that the little bit that I did eat made me sick though, I've been feeling horrible all day. When the steak came back the second time, I ate it, but the outside was cooked a little to much and the inside was cooked enough. So I've been popping tums all day. I feel a little better, but was sick to begin with, so that's not saying much. Anyway gotta go.write later.....comment!! (please)

I'm still not feeling well, but better than I was on Wednesday. People keep calling me to check rates, that's it, no booking or nothing, even though I tell them that the rates will change. What is the point of checking a rate, if you know that it is going to change?!! Stupid people, and then they tell me "hi, I'm just checking rates, I already have a really good one with budget, but I want to check your rates". They just waste our time!! I only work til 12:30am today, so at least I'll be done relatively soon.Other than that my days off were spent well. Not feeling well, but better that this. Thursday Sam and I went to the aquarius with Paul, Amanda and Tasha met us there too. It was very nice seeing them.I only have 4 1/2 days of work left until my next days off. I'm already looking forward to them. Anyway gotta get working. Write later.

Hey, i am sick right now, but still came to work. I feel horrible, hopefully I get the awop I signed up for. I'll go home early and go to bed. All of the people tonight have been calling to ask for rates on all the different cars, but then they don't make a reservation,even though u tell them the rate will change!! There is no point in checking a rate, if your not going to book!! the rates change really fast around here!! Stupid people, i hate them , hate them all. It probably wouldn't be so bad if they didn't waste so much of my time, but they talk to me about stuff I will never care about. Anyway gotta go.

Hey, I'm at work again, it seems like the only time I remember to post is while I'm at work.Harry Potter was pretty good, not half as bad as everyone had made it sound. There was a lot of stuff left out of the movie though. If a person hadn't read the books, there would have ben a lot of unanswered questions. I've read all the books, so I know why things happen as they do, but it might have been confusing for others. Oh well. It was a 2 and a half hour movie, they couldn't really add anymore to it, without it being terribly long I suppose. Anyway I'll probably have to start doing actual work soon. Oh, I'm happy that your moving back to the same spot on princess, sue, it was a nice apartment!! Anyway gotta go....

WOOHOO!!Thanks for the comments guys!! Where are you moving on Princess street, Sue? Thanks for the offer of crashing at your place. Cabs are pretty expensive. I probably won't have another weekend off for the entire summer. I have Thursday and Friday off next week though. I'll be working every Saturday and Sunday though. A guy in my class at work, who's an majoring in economics, told me that you can request that cendant not take any taxes out of your pays. I think I' going to do that Wednesday. I'm going to go see Harry Potter, the prizoner of azkaban tomorrow with Gill. I've heard that it's not as good as the first two, but I still want to see it. I am liking my job. I get mostly nice people, with the few here and there that are just freaking crazy, but I don't mind the job to much. Actually I have seniority over some people in my class, they picked seniority randomly, but I'm ahead of some, so I got decent shifts for next week. Wensday I work until 2am, Thursday and Friday I work until 3am, but all next week I chose the earliest shifts possible, so I work until 2:15am at the latest. AND next week when we do our bidding for shifts, there will be some new recruits, so they will get the later shifts and hopefully my class will get some earlier ones. The time goes by really quick there, cause it's one call after the other all night. You get 2 15 minute breaks and a half an hour lunch. The people that I work with are all pretty nice, that makes it nice.

Hey I'm still at work. Right now our computer systems are down, so we're not really taking any reservations, cause we can't give people any information. It's pretty sweet, I'm getting paid for 45 minutes to do nothing. I did a lot today though. I got a wack of member service transfer and I got my fairfield transfer. AND one of the trainers made a point of letting me know that my transfer percent was really good. Not too high and not to low. Too high sometimes would imply that I was tranfering people unwillingly. I get off work soon and then I'm going to go out to the 3 mile with Sam and meet Amanda and Tasha there for Amandas birthday.It should be pretty fun. I only have a half an hour to go!! I work tomorrow, i have to take a cab to work and home again. That blows, but time goes by pretty fast here. i've had some pretty nice people today. anywoo I better stop goofing off......actually it was my trainer who showed me how to get on the internet while working. He showed me how to switch between screens. He's a nice guy. He has helped me alot today. Anyway I'm gonna stop goofing off......OH....COMMENT!!!!!!!!!

Hey!! I just got done my first real day taking reservations. We did some yesterday, but only for a couple of hours. Today I was on the phone for under six hours and made 30 reservations. When another girl from my class asked the trainer if 30 was good, the trainer said that it was very good for the time period and it being or first day. There were some trainers walking around , so if we had any problems and weren't able to solve it ourselves quickly enough they would help us. Tomorrow I work 3:45pm until 12:30am. I'm going to go to the 3 mile tomorrow after work and meet some of my friends, it's Amandas birthday. I just called Gill and she might be going as well. Which would be good cause we could hang out and share a cab home later. Speaking of cabs Gill told me that she had quit working at Cendant after working the 6:30-3am shift for three days!! So we won't be able to share cabs anymore. I'm going to ask around and see if anyone lives around here and would be willing to give me a lift home for whatever amount of $. I hope that I can handle working that shift. I really like sleep and I don't know how well my body will adjust.(keep your fingers crossed!) Anyway I gotta go walk the puppy before it gets to dark out.........and please if your reading this COMMENT!! just write I read your blog and sign it...that's all I'm asking for.(:
